An X-Band low-power and low-phase-noise VCO using bondwire inductor
In this paper a low-power low-phase-noise voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO) has been designed and, fabricated in 0.25μm SiGe BiCMOS process. The resonator of the VCO is implemented with on-chip MIM capacitors and a single aluminum bondwire. A tail current filter is realized to suppress flicker noise up-conversion. The measured phase noise is −126.6 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from a 7.8 GHz carrie...
متن کاملAn ultra-compact LC-VCO using a stacked-spiral inductor
This paper proposes an ultra compact LC-VCO. Due to the speed-up of CMOS digital circuits, jitter of ring oscillators is becoming a critical problem. Even though an LC-VCO has a better phase noise, a layout size of on-chip inductor is a problem as a clock generator. Thus, the proposed LC-VCO consists of a very compact stacked-spiral inductor and active components placed are beneath the inductor...
متن کاملLow-phase-noise Cmos Vco with Harmonically Tuned Lc Tank
A low-phase-noise voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) has been demonstrated using a harmonically tuned LC resonance tank. In this circuit configuration, the voltage shape at the differential cell is almost rectangular; thus, the cell is switched effectively and the phase noise is reduced. More importantly, the proposed tank suppresses downconversion of the noise around 2f0 to the phase noise, d...
متن کاملA Design Optimization of Low-Phase-Noise LC-VCO Using Multiple-Divide Technique
The multiple-divide technique, using the multiratio frequency divider, has a possibility to improve FoM of VCO. This paper proposes a design optimization of LC-VCO using the multiple-divide technique. In the simulated results using 90-nm CMOS model parameters, the optimum frequency range, achieving better than −187.0 dBc/Hz of FoM, can be extended from 6.5∼12.5 GHz to 1.5∼12.5 GHz. The proposed...
متن کاملA 1.6 GHz 0.5 mW CMOS LC Low Phase Noise VCO Using Bond Wire Inductance
A 1.6-GHz LC voltage-controlled oscillator has been implemented in a 0.5-μm CMOS process. Bond wires, with their low series resistance, provide a resonant tank with high Q. Complementary crosscoupled PMOS and NMOS transistors enhance the single-ended symmetry at each of the resonant nodes to reduce close-in phase noise. At an offset frequency of 100 kHz, the measured phase noise is -95 dBc/Hz a...
